Hallo all

I would like to create a vMix "jingle machine" with bitfocus companion & an elgato streamdeck XL
In other words, i would like to assign 4x8 = 32 sound effects (as laughts, applauses, crashes, and so on) to played on the fly during live events
This can be esily be made with the original elgato software, but unfortunately it does not live very wwll in addition to Companion tool which is mandatory for other usages

I was thinking to a list, but it is not possible to select a specific row to be played so I am a little confused; loading 32 audio input and manage one-by-one seems to me something caotic and very uncomfortable

Someone has some idea/suggestion? Thank you very much

you can assign two functions to one button in companion
or use the ScriptStartDynamic function with this value:

Code:
API.Function("Selectindex", Input:="MyList", Value:=2)
API.Function("Play", Input:="MyList")

Why wouldn't you just use a proper application for this, such as a cart software with external control?

And why do you need to use Companion for these particular buttons?
